    How To Prepare For A Spiritual Confrontation Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2025
     | 656 views

    How should a church or believers deal with gross sin which is found in their midst? Ingore it? Cover it up? Tell your friends? Gossip? Why not find out what God's Word says about the subject?

    One of the most important questions any Bible-believing church must ask itself is this: How will we respond when we find that gross, even unrepentant sin is present in our church body? Many of us who fashion ourselves as born-again Bible-believing Christians might respond something like this: ...read more

    Whom Shall I Fear Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 2, 2025
     | 262 views

    Things and people that we fear take a variety of forms. Jesus urges us to not fear those who can only do things to us in this life, but to fear Him who has power over eternity - and yet because of His great love, we should not fear Him.

    Introduction There are things that all of us fear. What may cause me fear might not be what causes you fear and vice versa. Last night we were visiting with some folks and were reminiscing a bit about one of the fear inducing and adrenaline pumping experiences we had - bungee jumping. Fear, ...read more

    This is a message bout forgiveness and its importance in the life of a believer, looking at St. Stephen and St. Paul.

    Forgiveness and the Enemy Who Becomes Brother Today we are continuing in our September series on the topic of forgiveness. We decided to do this series because as we spoke with individuals over the last while, we heard a very common theme of many of us struggling with forgiveness. What is it? ...read more

    Jesus helps us to see that His followers should be marked by humility, faith, and devotion.

    What is a good Christian like? Is it someone who doesn’t as the saying goes “drink or smoke or cuss or chew or date/marry people who do”? Is it someone who faithfully attends church? Is it someone who waits until marriage to engage in sexual activity? Is it someone who is morally upright? Is ...read more

    Happy New Day

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 27, 2025
     | 246 views

    This New Year message reframes faith from managing the future to walking faithfully through today, trusting God’s presence rather than promises or outcomes.

    This is a New Year sermon. For some of you, that sentence alone is enough to make you settle back into your seat and quietly decide, "I’ll check out for now and will check back in about half an hour." I don’t say that sarcastically. I say it honestly. Because New Year’s sermons have ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 221 views

    Faithful, unseen service and prayer in everyday life have eternal significance, as God values and uses every act of obedience for His lasting purposes.

    Some of us come in today with calloused hands and tired hearts. You’ve folded laundry at midnight, sat beside hospital beds, raised kids and grandkids, held a flashlight while someone else turned the wrench. You’ve prayed through storms and sung through tears. And maybe, just maybe, you’ve ...read more

    Trust God’s wisdom and timing in uncertainty, knowing He lovingly guides and provides what’s best, even when the path ahead is unclear.

    Friends, some weeks feel like a maze, don’t they? You stand at the kitchen counter with a calendar in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, and the questions outnumber the answers. Do I take this job? Should we make that move? Will this relationship heal? The compass spins, the path feels ...read more

    What Good Can Come From This? PRO Sermon

     | 104 views

    God invites us to move beyond cynicism, trust His surprising work, and expect transformation when we honestly bring our doubts and hopes to Jesus in prayer.

    Some of us carry a quiet weariness. We scroll headlines, hear hard news, and think, “Here we go again.” Cynicism creeps in like a cold draft. We start to shrink our hopes, trim our prayers, and settle for safe, small expectations. We wonder if real change is possible. We wonder if God still ...read more

    The sermon urges us to break from constant noise and distraction, embracing stillness to encounter God’s presence and discover what truly matters in life.

    Friends, our world is loud. The headlines shout, the inbox swells, the calendar crowds, and our thumbs have learned a liturgy—scroll, swipe, repeat. Have you felt it? That tug inside that says, “Keep going, don’t stop, there might be something just ahead,” even when your heart whispers, “Please, ...read more

    Trusting in God, not ourselves or others, anchors our hearts and brings lasting strength, hope, and fruitfulness even in life’s hardest seasons.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that covers a storm. Bills stack up like bricks. Family tensions tug at your heart like a riptide. News cycles churn, and your soul feels thin. You’re doing your best, yet your best feels brittle. Have you ever wondered, “Where do I place my weight when the ...read more

    Following Christ means embracing sacrifice and perseverance, trusting God’s presence and strength through hardship, and finding lasting hope and purpose in Him alone.

    If you’ve ever watched a seasoned craftsman at work—hands steady, eyes kind, voice calm—you know the comfort of a good example. He doesn’t rush. He doesn’t grandstand. He lets you stand nearby, sleeves rolled up, and learn the rhythm of the work. That’s how Paul speaks to Timothy in this passage. ...read more
